December’s Community Call: Annual community potluck!

Every year (OK, this is only the third time, but still…) we host a virtual community potluck for our community of practice. Much like a traditional potluck, where guests bring an item to share in a multi-course meal, we’ll have a variety of activities (courses) and ways for you to “share your dish.” 

Read on for more information, or if you’re just here for the key details, we hope to see you on Wednesday, 15 December at 4pm UTC / 11am EST. You can join the Zoom room here.

What to expect at this year’s CSCCE potluck

We’ll be dividing up the 90 minutes of our call into four courses, with both main room and breakout room activities. You’ll have the opportunity to share how you’ve been effectively facilitating ice breakers, reflect on your successes and challenges from the past year, and connect with other members of the community of practice. 

We also plan on offering a game of CSCCE’s Lingo Bingo, an option to take time for mindful movement, and a group photo in which we encourage you to get creative! Think silly hats, fun Zoom backgrounds, and props (and of course, if you want to attend but not be in the picture, you can always turn off your camera). 

Since this is a social event we won’t be recording the call. Instead, we hope you’ll come and enjoy the company of your fellow community members at the end of another incredibly challenging year.
